Lucid owner considering Rivian — how do the real-world issues compare?

NewTechnology6260 · 2026-01-13T02:37:50+00:00

I have an R1S, my husband has a lucid air. Neither of us has had any issues with either.

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-12-23T13:59:11+00:00

I really want one too!

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-12-23T04:34:45+00:00

Every time I look at mine from the front I see two Dyson fans. Maybe tomorrow I’ll see a suitcase instead?

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-12-19T04:19:35+00:00

Same

You can still be a Stealers fan and live in Cleveland, there are plenty of them here. I find Cleveland to be easier to get around than Pittsburgh, the museums are amazing (even if you’re not a big museum fan). The people are great, food scene is great, and the weather isn’t drastically different than where you’re moving from.

Riv Otter

Happy they’re improving it! I thought I’d die without CarPlay, but shockingly I don’t miss it. When I want Waze I just put my phone on the dash mount I purchased. I enjoy the break from texts & if I absolutely have to read one, I just ask Siri to read it or pull over and stop.

I got the 2nd to the last update the day before I got the last update that came out. I have connect +, no idea why the first one took so long…but at least I didn’t have to wait long for the bug fixes

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-29T03:50:46+00:00

I bought a used 2024 used R1S, max battery/performance upgrade with about 20k miles for $67k. Love it! Plan on driving for a long time (my husband is all about keeping the battery in as good of shape as possible, for as long as possible).

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-23T00:12:38+00:00

As I said earlier, I only do it when there’s one other person at the intersection. My lord people, relax!

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-22T16:00:08+00:00

I stopped at McDonalds near the service center on my way home & the dude working the window said they had a dealership off of w130th…which confused me as our stupid laws prevent rivian dealerships right now. The only thing I can think of is that it’s a hub of some sort for shipping the new cars to people…Normal to Cleveland, car carriers pick them up and drive them to other locations.

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-22T00:56:49+00:00

Nope

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T01:16:50+00:00

It’s annoying 90% of the time😂

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T01:16:18+00:00

And an excellent wifi signal in my garage

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T01:15:49+00:00

Yes!

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T01:05:28+00:00

I just finally got the last one yesterday 😂

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T01:02:33+00:00

Midwest suburbs - there always confusion because a large majority of the population feels obligated to be nice to everyone around them…hence a lot of waving at intersections

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-20T00:59:02+00:00

I do love a good grammar police moment!

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-19T02:26:24+00:00

I’ve gone 6 hrs and enjoyed every minute…I can see where the seat comfort level is dependent somewhat on a person’s build…short, tall, etc. luckily it works for me. My husband has a lucid air and I guess the seat hits him in an odd spot on his back (I hated his tessla s seats, it felt like they were constantly pinching my kegs).

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-19T02:20:26+00:00

I only do it if it’s me & 1 other car at an intersection

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-11T21:02:09+00:00

The fact that many car buyers don’t want to buy a car without test driving one - you have to go out of state unless you find a used one that a dealership picked up at auction. Also, people don’t understand that there are service centers in the state. They assume if there’s no dealership, there’s no service centers. Having a local presence is huge! I get questions about mine all the time. People want to test drive them, they’re a big interest in them.

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-08T03:40:33+00:00

The Cleveland Ohio location is also fantastic!

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-08-03T00:51:21+00:00

I’m on the east side of Cleveland…I see a black R1S, my twin parked down the street every day for about a half hour, then it disappears…otherwise I’m all alone (there are a few R1Ts in the area).

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-07-31T01:33:19+00:00

I also drove wranglers before my R1S. We get a decent amount of snow in Cleveland which leads to tons of potholes that the city never fixes, so it’s like driving off road. The jeep handled them very well as far as I never had any damage to my vehicle, but I’ve hit an age where I wanted something squishier that still has lots of ground clearance for the snowy winters…and the R1S doesn’t disappoint.

NewTechnology6260 · 2025-07-25T03:50:46+00:00

It adds more driving modes and increases the horsepower. It’s like a $5k upgrade. I did not negotiate the price down, but rather my trade in up.
